Power moved that in the opinion of this
House it was the duty of the Government

which may be entered into between the
Governments of Great Britain and the
United States, special provision should be
made that fishermen of the latter country,
when within the waters of Canada, shall
be subject to the laws and regulations by
which Canadian fishermen are for the time

quest last evening over the remains of the
two little boys who were drowned in the
American river on Saturday last Mrs. A.
E. Peckham, NATION of the Protestant Or
phan Asylum, testified that they left the
asylum with number of other boys Sat

aged II years, months and IS days, and
George Mooney, aged 10 years and six
months, both natives of California.
Harry Griggs, one of the boys who was
in the swimming party, said: Frank Tebbits
got out in the river " in big chuck hole ~
and sank. He was noticed to sink twice.
but before the boys who went to his rescue
reached him he sank The third time One
of the boys-Frank Bohn-who went to
Tebbits' rescue, got stuck in the mud.
George Mooney went out and pulled Bohn
out of the sl;ckens. Bohn swan to the
shore and left Mooney behind. When he
reached the bank he looked back for
Mooney, but he was nowhere to be SEEM

drowning, in accordance with the above
facts.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
THE PLAZA STONEWALK.

Is 1t Being Done According to Contract
and As 1t Should Be?
EDS. REcoRD-UNIoN We are all interest
ed in the stone walk to be put down around
the Plaza, and have been gratifed at the
enterprise shown by the City Trustees hay
ing the work done. think, however, the
Trustees should have some one who is
familiar with putting down artificial stone
walk to oversee the doing of the work, as
according to my understanding of the way
the papers stated the worn was to be con-
structed, and as | am told t specifications
read, it is not being done . ording to the
requirements of the contract and as it
should be. refer especially to the manner
in which the six-inch curb on each side of
the walk is being made. The contract |
believe requires that this curb shall be six
inches wide and seven inches deep, as a
margin on each side of the eight-fo
walk. No separate curb is being
laid but only an imitation one, by
making the walk thicker on the edges, and
then drawing a line along the surface six
inches in, ana finished on top TO initiate
curb. 1t is in no wise curb" as is meant
by the specifications and by common par
lance of men who lay such walks. | have
had stone walk laid myself in years past,
and seen much of the work done, and de-
sire to enter my protest against any sleight-
of-hand practice in this matter, as such
cRrb is not good work, nor will it be dura-
Bile. No standard artificial stone layer ever
pretends to put down a curb which is not
laid entirely separate from the rest of the
walk. This makes it far more durable, as
if anything happened, such as crack, or
an injury which broke either, the other
r,xNNl H., I'D i Al
portion of the walk could be repaired with
out any trouble, and without touching the
curb. But this could not be done, as the
present work is being improperly executed.
You may do the city favor by publishing
this. Respectfully, TAXPAYER.

Improvement AssocIatlon Work.

A special meeting of the Executive Com
mittee of the Sacramento City and County
Improvement Association will be held this
evening at Association headquarters, to
hear and consider the report of the Com
mittee on Irrigation, and also to hear a
report from the parties having in charge
the raising of S25, 900, for improvement
purposes. Both subjects are OF importance
If water for irrigation can be successfully
brought over the area between the Amerf-
can and Costumes rivers, and furnished to
all who desire, it has only to be done, to
insure the cutting up and settlement
in small holdings, of the large tracts of
land, as they will thereby become too
valuable for stock ranges, or farming in a
slipshod manner. Nothing but the most
improved methods of cultivating, and the
growing of the most remunerative products,
will then pay a satisfactory income upon
the increased value of these lands. That
is what Sacramento desires to see, and
when it is seen, the future of the Capitol
City will be at tide of prosperity which
will double present values of real estate
and proportionately increase the volume
OF all kinds of business and trade. A
fund of $4,000, in the hands of the Asso-
citation at this time, and judiciously used,
will do much to aid the good work of
bringing this about.

A Patentee's Troubles.

Yesterday afternoon a patent gate was
the center of attraction for a crowd on
street Let EN- fight" screamed boy
half 4 block distant, and Immediately a
stampede was made for the crowd around
the gate. No damage resulted but to the
feelings of the boys. 4" 1t isn't properly
balanced, said an old man, who had spent
twenty years trying to invent perpetual
motion.
What would you do if drove of cows
should eat those ropes ," suggested mild
hammered individual, who always looked
on the dark side of every subject.
The patentees patience was being tried
and he responded " Suppose they ate
the whole gate up, what is that to you ?''
and he slammed the gate and looked dis
gust that appeared foreboding to the crowd.
As the crowd melted away the gate man
muttered: Some people have no COM
mon sense" statement that can be readily
substantiated

CALIFORNIA WATER COMPANY.
A Placer County Irrie alton scheme
RoseyilJe TO Have Water Works.

Placer Gounty Irrie alton Scheme
Roseville to Have Water Works.
Thomas Findley. Superintendent OF the
California Water Company, is making ar
rangements to pipe water across the Amer
lean river from the Ell Dorado county side
to Newcastle, in Placer. 1t will take several
miles of pipe, and will furnish an immense
volume of clear, pure mountain water
The fruit-growers at Newcastle. Penryn,
LOOMS and all the contiguous country
are highly elated over the proposition,
as it will enhance all the realty
in that section and make every
acre OF it susceptible to the highest state of
cultivation. The citizens of Roseville are
negotiating with Mr.. Findley to pipe the
water 10 that place, where, in addition to
its use for irrigating, it will be used for do
mestic purposes, and give them fne
pressure that will greatly reduce their pres
ent high insurance rate. This water will
also be brought down on the Haggin tract
and San Juan grant, and can easily
be piped into this city for domes-
tic and power purposes. The California
Water Company has one of the best water
rights on the coast. Their source OF supply
is almost inexhaustible. and comes from g
chain of lakes in the Sierras within few
miles of Lake Tahoe. Loon lake, the
largest of these natural reservoirs, has been
damned up at its outlet with solid
masonry, and has q storage capacity sutfi-
Gent to furnish a limitlesS supply. This
company has an immense main canal some
forty miles in length, with innumerable
lateral branches, and its supply is not inter
fered with by the heavy fall of snow in
winter. Thousands of inches can be
brought in this canal to point opposite
Newcastle, and for a small amount, say
$50, 900, can be placed in all the towns of
Placer county along the railroad south of
Auburn, and irrigate every acre OF the
Rancho Del Paso and San Juan grants.
With water sufficient for irrigating pur
poses upon those grants, they become en-
tirely too valuable for grazing purposes,
and must fall into the hands of
a large number of thrifty farmers
and husbandmen. The lay of
the country is such that power
sufficient for every conceivable kind of
manufacturing purposes can be obtained at
a minimum of cost, as the water is not lost
but can be returned to the canal from |
which it was taken. Such an opportunity |
in Southern California would be regarded |
as worth millions and syndicate would |
be formed in day that would boom the |
entire country. No county in the State |
has better facilities for obtaining an abund- |
ance of mountain water for power and
irrigating purposes than Sacramento. The |
mountains are full of it, and it only re-
quires little capital and enterprise to
bring it in.

CAMP SHEEHAN.
The Boys Knocked Out in One Round by
TaclSling Mince Pies.

TaclSling Mince Pies.
SANTA CRUZ, August 16th.-This has been
day of great profit to the guardsmen.
Everyone admits the great improvement of
the militia under the instruction of the reg
ulars. This camp is not up to that of two
years ago in social features. There q re
very few society happenings, in fact there is
very little outside of the routine of camp
life. Money is not plentiful, the opening
of champagne is something unheard of
social parties and dancing are not heard of,
but for a real soldierly school it surpasses
any camp heretofore held in the State. No
other camp ever had the advantage of a
United States regiment, splendidly trained.
to aid ii in drill and witness the duties of
the field little short of actual war
To-day number ofthe non-commissioned
officers of the regulars, took the Cadets in
hand, and patiently instructed them in set
ting up exercises and the manual of arms.
Tonight reception is being held by Col
onel Guthrie which is largely attended.
Tomorrow we will have the usual drills
and parades. Tomorrow the First Artillery
Band will serenade the Sacramento ladies
in Santa Cruz, and in the afternoon they
will serenade Colonel Shafter. One of the
features Oh tomorrow Will De baseball
match between the regimental and Santa
Cruz nine. General Carey and his staff
will arrive tomorrow, and go into camp
preparatory to a brigade review.
This afternoon nearly the entire regi-
ment went to the beach, and the boys
sported themselves in the waves. The
mornings are damp and cold, ard excellent
for the drill exercises. The afternoons are
bright, warm and delightful.
Lieutenant-Colonel Mckee is so sick to-
day that be was removed from the camp
to Santa Cruz and will be taken home. His
wife is with him, and he has the best of
medical attendance. He was not well
when he came here, and it is feared he has
an attack of low fever. There was some
little indisposition noticeable among the
men, which was attributed to over-eating
and change of water, but all are coming
out all right. A peddler of American
mince pies, who has been visiting the
camp, is charged with having caused the
arrangement in the boys stomachs.
